Hello!

In addition, you would have the opportunity of being introduced to a myriad of programmes and activities that the sector is engaged in. Through such programmes, you will get first-hand information about the rich and entertaining music, cultural dances and unique languages which surely will spice up your life.
The Tourism and Creative Arts sector is labour-intensive, supports a diverse and versatile labour market. It provides small-scale employment opportunities, such as travel and tours, handicrafts, music and dance, Ghanaian cuisine and many more, which have the potential of attracting investors into the sector.

Ministry Overview
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture was renamed in 2017 through Executive Instrument E.I28 Civil Service (Ministries) Instrument, 2017 by His Excellency the President, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo to replace the then Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts. The Ministry’s policy directive is to provide a firm, stable policy environment for effective mainstreaming of Ghanaian arts and culture into all aspects of national life. This it is believed will help in ensuring the emergence of a strong, vibrant and creative environment that would help improve and advance the Tourism, Arts and Culture industry in Ghana.
